[The next day]Clarissa woke up in the bathtub. All her body hurt and she could hardly move her legs. Zane had gone too far with her last night. All of a sudden, as if just getting her senses, Clarissa felt water all over her body. She realized that the bathtub was full and while turning her head slowly to the right, she said a silent prayer that she would not see Zane. Unfortunately for her, her prayers did not get answered. Zane was there in the bathtub with her and covered in foam. Clarissa's lips moved as if she wanted to say something but even her lips hurt and she touched her lips with her fingers. Zane made sure that he enjoyed her until the extent of making her a mess by morning and he succeeded. Zane grinned, "you are away. Took you long enough." Zane said. "That twisted psychopath..." Clarissa thought to herself. She wanted to cuss at Zane but couldn't, fearing that what happened last night would repeat itself. Zane got up and left the bathtub right before Clarissa's e
When I was finally out of Zane's view, he left. I got the coffee that Clarissa asked me for and I returned it to her. "Your coffee is here ma'am," I said to Clarissa while standing in front of her bedroom door. "Come in," Clarissa said to me. I opened the door and walked into her room. Clarissa was such a mess and locked like a hurricane blew passed her in her sleep. I almost asked her what the problem was. "Leave it in my drawer," Clarissa said to me. I did so and was about to leave but heard her calling me back. "Hold on," Clarissa said. "Is Zane down there? I mean, was he waiting for me or asking for me or something?" Clarissa asked me. The question confused me and even Clarissa noticed that. Clarissa waved her hands in front of me, "just go. Go." Clarissa told me and I did as she said. I went ahead to look for the butler and after a while, I found him in a room. Come to think of it, I never knew which room was his. This one is rather small compared to the other ones. His d
I put the key back inside my pocket and went downstairs to check on Zane and Clarissa but when I got there, they were not there. I went back up and checked if Clarissa's room was locked. It wasn't at all locked, just closed. But how would I know if she's in there? I can't just walk in. I decided to knock on the door. If she asked why I came, I would just say I was supposed to clean her room as I did with some others. Yes, that's right. I knocked on Clarissa's room but no answer came. I knocked three more times but still no answer and then I decided to open the door. Clarissa was not in her room and had probably gone out already for work. I came out of her room and while on my way down, I checked to see if Zane's room was locked. As expected, Zane's bedroom door was locked. I was sure that they both had gone to work and so I took my chances. The butler was sure not to leave his room. I inserted the key and turned it on. The door unlocked and I went into Zane's room once again, mak
"I heard everything. You thought you wouldn't get exposed? You were the one who entered Zane's room the other night and I'm sure you returned there to frame me with something before you got caught in the act." the butler said to me. "I am only an old man. I'm only a butler in front of your eyes but you have no idea what I am going through in secret," he added. "I..." that was the only thing which came out of my mouth. I didn't know what to say to the butler next. I didn't know if I regretted trying to frame, if I regretted letting him take the fall earlier, or if I regretted failing at what I planned to do and getting caught at the same time. "Get out of my room now. Out." the butler said to me. I got on my feet with much effort and I walked right out of his room as he told me to. The butler slammed his door shut and I left that side to another where I was sure I wouldn't be seen by anyone. Zane said I was lucky that they still needed my presence. What would happen when they no l
"I'm sorry master but we had to. He may be the one you have always told us about. And..." I heard Kevin's voice but someone interrupted him in the middle. "Shut up!" that person ordered. "How many times did I tell you three never to bring anyone to this place?" the person said but no answer came. "Just..." the voice said and I heard a sigh. "I will question him once he is awake." the voice added as if tired. I heard those voices as if they were right next to me and indeed, they were. Though my sight was blurry at first as I opened them, I managed to see clearly after some seconds passed and I saw that Elvis, Blake, and Kevin were present there and I was on a bed. There was also an old man standing there and I sat up, feeling confused. "Why did you three knock me out?!" I complained. "You asked for something valuable and I simply gave it," I added. To my greatest surprise, the old man slapped me, "so they were telling the truth? You're such a fool. Why would you want to give awa
"What was that?" Clarissa questioned and came out of her room. She had heard a car horn blowing. "Who on earth would come over at this hour?" Clarissa wonder and while she was headed downstairs, she stopped in front of Zane's room. "Zane... Zane..." Clarissa whispered and knocked. "What is it?" Zane's voice sounded from inside his room. "There is someone here. I mean, outside. Are you expecting anyone?" Clarissa asked Zane. "No," Zane answered Clarissa. The lock clicked and Zane stepped out of his room. He locked the door again, "let's go." he told Clarissa and began going downstairs. They both reached the front door and were about to open it but it opened on its own. Clarissa's heart skipped and then she sighed in relief when she saw that it was only a security guard. "Yes? Who is it that came here this late?" Clarissa asked the security guard. "Ma'am, it's the Vandelson twins. They want to drive in." the security guard answered Clarissa. "What?!" Clarissa exclaimed and fel
On hearing Zane's words, Dean and Loki burst out laughing. The twins slowed down in laughing when they saw the look on Zane's face. "So you are serious?" Loki asked Zane. "You don't see me laughing along now do you?" Zane questioned. "There is no way we are giving you anything from an inheritance that rightfully belongs to me and my brother." Dean protested. "Hm. Then how else would you pay for my silence?" Zane asked the twins, in a threatening tone of voice. "You are pushing past your limits Mr Zane," Dean told Zane. Zane finally got up. Dean and Loki picked up their guns again and aimed them at Zane. "We don't have to pay money to a dead man," Dean said to Zane. "I know you won't shoot me," Zane said to the twins. "I want to believe that none of you is that stupid," Zane said to Dean and Loki. "Oh yeah?" Loki said to Zane. "Yes. I know none of you is stupid enough to pull the trigger and get caught in crime by the security guards here." Zane added. The twins, reluctantly
"You bastard! What was that all about?! You think that it was only your choice to make?!" Loki yelled at Dean. "Stop it!" Dean shouted and pushed Loki off himself. "You think I am that stupid to..." Dean said and paused, thinking for a minute. "What?! To what?!" Loki yelled. "You just gambled away our inheritance like it was nothing. Did you have any idea of what you were doing? Do you know how much would be given to that fool?!" Loki shouted at Dean, fuming more than ever. "Shh!" Dean said to Loki. Loki looked at Dean I'm surprise and his mouth opened. "What did you just say to me?!" Loki argued. "Shh!" Dean hushed Loki again and then dragged Loki into their bathroom. Dean closed the bathroom door and then he turned on the shower to drown their voice should in case they would still be audible enough for anyone to hear. "What are you doing?" Loki asked Dean. "You mean to tell me you don't recall the words that were spoken to us by that man, Zane?" Dean questioned Loki
